intelburntest is a linpack test like LinX. i ran Prime for about 15 minutes just now and got no errors.

The only bad thing about this case is that i had to take out the hotswap bay to install my harddrive due to having only 1 IDE slot on the board so ive gotta have the hardrive close to the DVD burner so i can hook them both up. I would like to find two small sata drives to replace this one. i have a friend that has two in a old PC i might hijack!

well i took some more pics but i cannot get enough light here in my desk area so tomorrow i might take it outside and get some good pics. Now im installing the new 10.4 ATI drivers for the 4200HD IGP video that the motherboard has

Ok got my case in today! i just took it apart and cut out the piece i needed to get the HSF to fit. my only issue it it might hit the PSU but i cant see that til i get it together BUT FIRST! PAINT!!!!

After this i will touch it up and start assembly.

Ill keep you up dated

From the looks of the pics you have it looks like it would be doable to remove that card reader, the front panel jacks, and cut a hole there for better airflow for the 80mm fan. Was thinking about getting one of these to try doing a first-time mod on but got hung up on the airflow from the front. Hmmm......

WOW its been a while since i've seen one of those Intel fans... I think some heat spreaders on the ram would help a little... that fan on the ram is the same one i have on my mom's sempron 3000... keeps it at under 100F

doesn't look so good.I am still waiting to get my new PSU so till then i am running my old 700w one on it and the 8600GT. Will have the 8800GT and Seasonic PSU in it next week...(i hope)
I just redid the tube and cut out the top 140mm fan so i could get the rad to fit. this is my rig in its darkest moment http://img.techpowerup.org/100507/S5031134.jpg

to be true, the left Fan is from a socket A Athlon XP 2200+, and the right, big Fan is from an Intel LGA 775 cooler!

well its good to be back fellas.. I have no new pics for ya , but im running the same hardwares as last year.. just got the MOBO RMA number from ASUS a YEAR later for that Maximus II Formula I got last march...(bad asus) So Im running this P5Q Pro Turbo ( all the turbo means .. is that they have included the new TurboV software for this board.. a Pro with 1 extra heatsink and new softwares..)
